It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of His Excellency Mr Mwai Kibaki, who served as 3rd President of Kenya from 2002 to 2013.
In 2013, Mr Kabaki launched the Mwai Kibaki Institute, focusing on the development of programmes on Water Diplomacy, Green Energy and Coffee Revitalization.
His designation as a UNESCO Special Envoy for Water in Africa in 2016, came considering his numerous efforts to highlight education as an important tool for the success of water-related projects and activities and to promote water management in a sustainable manner.
In addition, he supported initiatives aiming to make potable drinking water accessible to communities, notably in his capacity as a Patron of the Millenium Water Alliance, a multi-donor-funded initiative that seeks to make potable drinking water accessible to communities that are under threat of water security and scarcity.
